Bye bye, Brit (sort of)
Earlier this year it was reported that the most loveable man in the mainstream media, Fox News Special Report’s Brit Hume, was retiring from anchoring the news effective the end of the year. Well, today was his last day as host of Special Report. Newsbusters (via J$) has the vid of the last few minutes of tonight’s broadcast, which includes a really nice tribute to the Britster.
Heck, I think I’ll post a copy of it as well 
Media Bistro reported earlier today that Fox News correspondent Bret Baier will take over for Brit, effective January 5th. In the meantime, Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace and Fox correspondent Jim Angle will fill in.
Hume will still be on Fox from time to time – as per what was reported back in July:
In his new role, Hume would be a senior political analyst, anchor special events, serve as a panelist on “Fox News Sunday” and occasionally substitute for the host, Chris Wallace.
That’s great to hear, but things still won’t be the same on Fox.
We’ll miss seeing your cute mug every weekday, Brit! XOXOX

Y’know, if news breaks of Brit having an unknown stalker, I think we know where to look…
Hey Sister, have I ever toldjah that people say all the time that I could pass as the twin brother of Brit Hume?
Uh…well, OK, not really. Not even close I guess.
I am really going to miss Brit Hume. I’ve long considered him the best, most objective, and most serious TV journalist out there. He should have hosted at least one debate, he’s so far out of the league of the sycophants they chose to actually run the debates. They have some good choices to replace him, Bret Baier should do fine, Chris Wallace would be a good choice too.
At least none of them got “thrills up their leg” during the last election, or if they did they had the sense to keep their mouths shut about it.
Thank God he is staying on Fox News Sunday. He is pretty much the only reason I keep watching it. I love it when he corrects Juan Williams. Some days he does it so often you could turn it into a beer drinking game, and walk away pretty drunk. – Lorica
I hear some new guy named Sneery is gonna take his place. I don’t know his last name and I don’t know much about him, but I heard he’s going to be “different” than Brit. A little more “in your face” is the term I heard.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
My favorite Brit anecdote involves a broadcast where the crew, “Fox News analysts all,” Barnes, Liasson, , Krauthammer, Williams, were at it hammer and tongs and they were hushed by Brit Hume. They all quieted and looked at him kind of penitently and for all the world he seemed like a kindergarten teacher who had stepped into the hall for a moment and had now returned to the pandemonium the class had instantly become upon his departure.
